In above structure,, use Fig. 3 that the change action of three motors 103 (M1, M2, M3) is described simultaneously with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2.Fig. 3 is the timing diagrams of expression motors in the embodiments of the present invention 1, the 1st motor to the 2 motors from three motors 103 (M1, M2, M3) when switching.
In Fig. 3, the longitudinal axis represents to move/stop switching signal 122, motor switching signal 118, position probing processing signals 121, position probing output switching circuit output signal the 203, the 1st electrical power switching signal 119a, the 1st electric power switch circuit output the 204, the 2nd electrical power switching signal 119b, the 2nd electric power switch circuit output the 205, the 1st motor speed the 206, the 2nd motor speed 207 successively from last beginning.Transverse axis is the time.Move/stop low level in the switching signal 122 and represent that stop signal, high level represent run signal.In addition, the high level in the motor switching signal 118 represents that the 1st selection of Motor signal, low level represent the 2nd selection of Motor signal.
As initial condition, by the outside in advance to Drive and Control Circuit unit 101, import with high level (state of the 1st selection of Motor signal) indicating the motor switching signal 118 of the motor 103 (any of M1~M3) that should drive, switching signal 122 be will move/stop with low level (halted state) input, the state and the input respectively of the suitable necessity of switching signal 123 and 124 selections of braking mode switching signal just changeed/reverse.
After being set at above state, the timing of in Fig. 3, representing with T1, operation/stop signal 122 is switched to high level (run signal), and be imported into move/when stopping commutation circuit 112, because of motor switching signal 118 is imported into motor commutation circuit 104 with high level (state of the 1st selection of Motor signal), so output according to motor commutation circuit 104, the position detection signal 120 of selected the 1st motor of the input of position detection signal treatment circuit 106 is by exporting as position probing processing signals 121 after position detection signal treatment circuit 106 processing and amplifying.Position probing processing signals 121 is input to position probing output switching circuit 107, select the predrive circuit corresponding 109 according to the output of motor commutation circuit 104, detect output switching circuit output signal 203 from position probing output switching circuit 107 outgoing positions with the 1st motor.Then, be imported into the power switch circuit 110 of the 1st motor as the energising switching signal 119a of the output of the predrive circuit corresponding 109 with the 1st motor, 110 pairs the 1st motors of this power switch circuit provide electric current (the 1st electric power switch circuit output 204), thereby the 1st motor is in the timing starting of described T1.
Then, after the 1st motor reaches rotating speed of target, in the timing shown in the T2, motor switching signal 118 switched to low level (state of the 2nd selection of Motor signal) and when being input to motor commutation circuit 104, the position detection signal 120 of the 2nd motor is selected as the input of position detection signal treatment circuit 106, by exporting as position probing processing signals 121 after position detection signal treatment circuit 106 processing and amplifying.Therefore, regularly T2 is as the border, and position probing processing signals 121 is corresponding with the position detection signal 120 of the 2nd motor.
Then, position probing processing signals 121 is imported into position probing output switching circuit 107, according to the output of commutation circuit 104, select the predrive circuit 109 corresponding with the 2nd motor, detect output switching circuit output signal 203 from position probing output switching circuit 107 outgoing positions.That is, regularly T2 is the border, and position probing output switching circuit output signal 203 is corresponding with the position detection signal 120 of the 2nd motor.And, be imported into the power switch circuit 110 of the 2nd motor as the energising switching signal 119b of the output of the predrive circuit corresponding 109 with the 2nd motor.110 pairs the 2nd motors of this power switch circuit provide electric current (the 2nd electric power switch circuit output 205), thereby at timing the 2nd electric motor starting of described T2.
And in the timing of described T2, the output of position probing output switching circuit 107 breaks away from from the predrive circuit corresponding with the 1st motor 109 simultaneously.And, because of the energising switching signal 119a as the output of this predrive circuit 109 is a high impedance status, so the output 204 of the power switch circuit 110 of the 1st motor also is high impedance status (power switch element up and down all ends, the state that output impedance is high), the 1st motor stops to drive.
As described above, in the motor driver of alternately action, in the circuit that switches the motor that should drive, do not use mechanical relay, thereby the realization oncontacting is revealed, the motor that should drive is switched to the moment of other motors, and the three-phase power switch element of the motor that is still driving all is a cut-off state.
In addition, if it is in service at motor, if just be transfused in the Drive and Control Circuit unit 101 and change/reverse switching signal 123, perhaps in way, be input for switching the motor switching signal 118 of the motor that should drive near rotating speed of target, then in example in the past, after must after detecting the motor stop signal, being provided with the time of delay of regulation, make 104 actions of motor commutation circuit then, but in the present invention, as mentioned above, the power switch circuit 110 that has driven cuts off from position probing output switching circuit 107, thereby is not provided for the electric current of drive motors.Therefore, power switch circuit 110 still is connected with motor coil, so absorb the energy that is accumulated in the motor coil, therefore can not produce the lonely discharge of surge voltage or electricity in power switch circuit 110.
Therefore, can drive and switch and the motor switching timing that need not to worry can realize the significantly shortening of switching time.Thus, can realize the motor driver that high life and reliability are high.In addition, three motors 103 (M1, M2, M3) are alternately moved to be used, so switch with selected motor on the power output circuit unit 102 that is connected, only one group power switch circuit 110 moves, can not produce the increase of the heating that the power energy consumption caused, carry out a chipization easily.
In addition, by sharing of realization Drive and Control Circuit unit 101, thereby compare with the situation of usually two circuit being carried in an assembly (package), circuit scale significantly dwindles, realize the simplification of circuit, the miniaturization of assembly, so can realize motor driver at a low price.
